Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Akroan Horse, newest first.
- Akroan Horse's enters-the-battlefield ability doesn't target any opponent. In a multiplayer game, you choose the opponent as the ability resolves.
- In the last ability, “each opponent” refers to opponents of Akroan Horse's controller. In most situations in two-player games, your opponent will control Akroan Horse and you'll put Soldier tokens onto the battlefield.
